He is a very large, muscular man with a big, black beard and mustache and thick, black hair with a stripe of white hair down the middle.His typical attire consist of a black sleeveless v neck and laced shirt, green pants tuck inside knee high laced boots and a white cape. Noticeably on his left arm are three long scars and wears a teeth string bracelet and strapped on his right hip a brown holster like bag with an unknown object sticking out. He keeps one eye closed at all times, as well as a nose plug over the bridge of his nose. When these are removed, which he does when preparing to fight [[Grinpatch]], his appearance becomes wilder and his muscles bulge, causing his clothes to tear.

Shigematsu was said to be an ambitious man, a trait which even President [[Ichiryu]] admired. He was also a proud and loyal man with great loyalty to Ichiryu and his comrades. When Grinpatch came to the [[1st Biotope]] to retrieve the GT Robos, Shigematsu was shown to be disappointed that [[Starjun]] or [[Tommyrod]] had not come, showing not only his delight in fighting, but also that he had prior experience with the [[Gourmet Corp.]] and did not fear their kind.

Shigematsu is seen in a flashback of Grinpatch's explaining to Toriko why he was after the [[BB Corn]]. It was because he couldn’t get back the [[GT Robos]] from Mansam and Shigematsu in the 1st Biotope.

Shigematsu (茂松) was the Vice-President of the IGO whose authority was second only to President Ichiryu. He was a man of powerful authority and tremendous strength who took his position very seriously.

In truth however, he had been brainwashed by Joie at an unknown point and forced to join the dark organization known as NEO and act as a spy for them within the IGO against his own will. In his final moments he was able to regain his old identity and pass on with his true heart and mind.

He is a very large, muscular man with a big, black beard and mustache and thick, black hair with a stripe of white hair down the middle.His typical attire consist of a black sleeveless v neck and laced shirt, green pants tuck inside knee high laced boots and a white cape. Noticeably on his left arm are three long scars and wears a teeth string bracelet and strapped on his right hip a brown holster like bag with an unknown object sticking out. He keeps one eye closed at all times, as well as a nose plug over the bridge of his nose. When these are removed, which he does when preparing to fight Grinpatch, his appearance becomes wilder and his muscles bulge, causing his clothes to tear.

Personality

Shigematsu was said to be an ambitious man, a trait which even President Ichiryu admired. He was also a proud and loyal man with great loyalty to Ichiryu and his comrades. When Grinpatch came to Biotope 1 to retrieve the GT Robos, Shigematsu is shown to be disappointed that Starjun or Tommyrod had not come, showing not only his delight in fighting, but also that he had prior experience with the Gourmet Corp. and did not fear their kind.

Sadly when Joie used his "Taste Change" on him, Shigematsu's true identity was repressed and he was forced to become a merciless and unfeeling monster. In the end thanks to Toriko, he was able to regain his original personality at the cost of his own life, but was able to spend his last moments as himself while thanking his good friend Ichiryu.
